挪国油在瓦莱蒙凝析气田西侧获得新天然气发现

　　据国外媒体2月3日奥斯陆报道，挪威国家石油公司在瓦莱蒙凝析气田投产两年以后日前这个大型气田的西侧获得了一个新的天然气发现，这个新发现气田被称为瓦莱蒙西气田。

　　根据挪国油声明，这个发现估计拥有2000万至5000万桶油当量的天然气储量。挪国油负责北海西部气田群作业的高级副总裁纳肯说，对瓦莱蒙凝析气田的进一步开发来说，这是一个重要的发现。

　　他补充说：“这些新储量能够立即投产并将增加相当大的价值。这个发现证明，在北海这个我们已经熟悉的地区仍有好的机会。此外，那里还有大量的基础设施。”

　　这口位于卑尔根市西北100英里的发现井钻到了海平面以下14229英尺的垂直深度。

　　Statoil has made a new gas discovery on the Valemon field, called Valemon West, two years after the asset came on stream.

　　The discovery is estimated to contain between 20 and 50 million barrels of oil equivalent, according to a Statoil statement.

　　“This is an important discovery for the further development of Valemon,” Gunnar Nakken, Statoil’s senior vice president for the operations west cluster, said.

　　These new reserves can be put on stream immediately and will add considerable value. The discovery proves that there are still good opportunities in the North Sea, an area we know well, and its infrastructure is extensive, he added.

　　The well, which is situated 100 miles northwest of Bergen, was drilled to a vertical depth of 14,229 feet below sea level.
